This Basil Couscous Salad with Citrus Roasted Chicken may be a simple recipe but there is nothing simple about its bold flavor! Thanks to Bertolli for sponsoring this recipe. It always seem like once fall approaches that the rest of year flies by, have you ever felt that way? Schedules get crazy for those with kids going back to school, the next thing you know it's holiday time and then suddenly it's New Year's and you're wondering where the 2nd half of the year went! One way to stay sane during those crazy times is to meal plan and to include LOTS of simple recipes in the meal plan. When I say simple, I don't mean boring! With minimal quality ingredients (with maximum flavor!) and Continue Reading
DIY Slatted Tray Made with Paint Stir Sticks
Create a beautiful slatted tray with paint stir sticks and a thrifted tray. Thank you to DecoArt for sponsoring this post. Hello there! I'm glad you're here to chat about one of my favorite things... thrift store makeovers! I absolutely love to peruse thrift stores in search of my next project. I have the best luck when I go in not looking for anything in particular and that way my mind is open to discover the gems. Sometimes I am looking for something specific and on a rare occasion I will actually find it; that was the case with this serving tray. My original idea had been to find a thrifted tray and put tiles in it. But then I brought the tray home and walked by a table that had Continue Reading
Bloody Mary Bar To-Go
This Bloody Mary Bar To-Go is the perfect carry along to take to your next party, picnic or even tailgate! Thank you to Master of Mixes for sponsoring this post. T minus 2 weeks until the start of the college football season! In case you ever need an updated countdown, we have a chalkboard sign counting down the days until the first Buckeye game. Nothing says fall like football and tailgating. And no tailgate is complete without a delicious Bloody Mary. A Bloody Mary bar and football are like baseball and Cracker Jacks... they are just perfect together. So you're probably thinking, how the heck do you transport a Bloody Mary bar to a tailgate? I struggled with that very Continue Reading
Farmhouse Glam Fall Centerpiece
This Farmhouse Glam Fall Centerpiece will cozy up your table for the whole season. Thank you Hobby Lobby for sponsoring this post! Hi there friends! I'm so excited to share with you the farmhouse glam fall centerpiece I put together! I’m definitely on team "It’s never too early to decorate for fall"... I mean, what else is there to decorate for after the 4th of July, right? ;) I admit, I'm that girl that gets a little giddy when I walk into Hobby Lobby in early summer and see fall decorations. Decorating for fall doesn’t mean that I’m wishing away summer, I just love the feeling of warmth and coziness that fall décor brings. I have always been a fan of the rusts, Continue Reading

In case you noticed, I've been waaaay MIA... it's been a crazy couple of weeks!

I left feeling so inspired and I cannot Continue Reading
DIY Leather Key Fob Gift Idea with Cricut
Make a DIY Leather Key Fob for a gift or for a new accessory for yourself! This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. Hey guys! I hope you're having a great week! I'm gearing up to attend the Cricut Mountain Make-a-thon next week in Salt Lake City and I cannot wait! One of the items we are supposed to bring with us is 1 of our favorite materials to cut with a Cricut. Eeeek how do I choose just one?! I mean, it's like picking a favorite child! (Too dramatic?) While I haven't totally decided yet, one of my favorites is definitely the Cricut faux leather; I fell in love with it when I first tried it on my no-sew Continue Reading
